Wilhelm Mohnke
SS-''Brigadeführer'' Wilhelm Mohnke (15 March 1911 – 6 August 2001) was one of the original 120 members of the SS-Staff Guard (''Stabswache'') "Berlin" formed in March 1933. From those ranks, Mohnke rose to become one of Adolf Hitler's last remaining generals. He joined the Nazi Party in September 1931.
Mohnke saw action with the ''Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler'' in France, Poland and the Balkans. After several failed attempts to introduce a Panzer arm to the ''Leibstandarte'', he was transferred to the replacement battalion until he was given command of a regiment in the 12th SS Panzer Division ''Hitlerjugend''. It was with this regiment that he fought in the Battle for Caen. He received the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 11 July 1944. After participating in most of the French campaign, he was given command of his original division, the ''Leibstandarte'', during the Battle of the Bulge, which commenced on 16 December 1944.
He served until the very last day of the war in Europe; during the Battle of Berlin, he commanded the ''Kampfgruppe Mohnke'' and was charged with defending the Berlin government district, including the Reich Chancellery and ''Reichstag'' (nicknamed ''Die Zitadelle'' or "The Citadel"). He was investigated after the war for war crimes, including allegations that he was responsible for the murder of prisoners in France in 1940, Normandy in June 1944 and Belgium in December 1944. He was never charged and died in 2001, aged 90.
==Early life==
Mohnke was born in Lübeck on 15 March 1911. His father, who shared his name with his son, was a cabinetmaker. After his father's death, he went to work for a glass and porcelain manufacturer, eventually reaching a management position. Mohnke joined the Nazi Party with number 649,684 on 1 September 1931. Shortly thereafter, he joined the SS with number 15,541. Mohnke began with the rank of SS-''Mann'' (Private). After Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in January 1933, SS Headquarters in Berlin requested that all SS regiments submit three names of their best soldiers for transfer to a personal guard unit for Hitler. Mohnke was selected for the unit in March 1933. He was assigned to ''SS-Stabswache Berlin'', which established its first guard at the original Reich Chancellery on 8 May 1933. In September, the unit became known as the ''SS-Sonderkommando Berlin''.
